You may or may not remember the get rich quick commercials promising little work, lots of pay, and early retirement. This, however, is not how God designed us to function. As humans, were made for work; work gives us meaning. In fact, work begins with God in the first book of the Bible: Genesis. In the creation story (see Genesis 1), God works for six days and rests on the seventh. This is the example we as people, made in the image of God, are suppose to follow. If we dont the Bible has some tough words for us. Paul says in 2 Thessalonians 3:10, For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. So, how do we stop laziness? We find what it is that we love doing that serves other people. Instead of focusing on what it is that will make us the most money for an early retirement, we focus on what it is that God has called us to do to give back to the community. If you dont know what it is that you love to do, then seek out someone who can pray with you and help you find it.
